Angelica Henn, one of Kalliwoda's best pupils, is credited with a "Missa Solemnis," also an opera, "The Rose of Lebanon," and some songs and instrumental works. Anna Pessiak-Schmerling, born in Vienna, was for many years teacher of singing at the conservatory there, and won more than a local reputation through the performance of her masses.
If the old Missa had behaved badly in Gabbari docks, she was odious once we got out to sea. She did everything but stand on her head or capsize and did indeed nearly accomplish both these feats. Normally the journey from Alexandria to Mersa Matruh, whither we were bound, occupies about sixteen hours. On this occasion the Missa took five days!

"Goo' molnin', Missa Helsmok!" chanted another yellow agony. "Nicee molnin', Missa Helsmok! Whaffoh you tellee me lah wintel you sclew my plully neck? Lak-no-ha-long-lee! Missa Smyte wakee you up tyillin'-a-head you holse!
"Daat are a fact, mass'r, daat same she be a gal ob colour nebber mind she white as young missa herseff. Missa larf and say so many, many time, but fr'all daat dar am great difference one rich lady t'other poor slave jes like Ole Zip ay, jes like Ole Zip buy 'em, sell 'em, all de same." "Could you describe Aurore, Scipio?" It was not idle curiosity that prompted me to put this question.
The black gave some glowing details of many a grand ball and fete champetre that had taken place on the plantation, and hinted at the expensive life which "young missa" led while in the city, where she usually resided during most part of the winter. All this I could easily credit.
After the prayer; Ite Missa est, Alleluja, Alleluja, is sung; and the choir answers, Deo gratias Alleluja, Alleluja: the Pope gives the usual blessing, the Celebrant publishes the indulgence of thirty years and this beautiful service terminates. The Cardinals put on red mantellette and mozzette over their purple cassocks; these they afterwards change for others of scarlet.
Nobody at Adlerstein was particular about silence in church, and, when the service was not in progress, voices were not even lowered, and, after many attempts on the part of the Schneiderlein to attract the attention of his mistress, his voice immediately succeeded the Ite missa est, "Gracious lady, we must begone. Your mule is ready.
And, as though to encourage and bless me, a faint ray of sunshine came through the window. "Ite, missa est...." The priest turned round; and this time I thought his eyes rested upon me, and that the look was a benediction and an absolution. But suddenly I heard in the alley close by a great noise of people running and horses stamping, and a voice crying: "Mount horses!... Mount horses!"
We find that in the first volume, four works, the First, Second, and Third Symphonies and the opera "Leonore" or "Fidelio" occupy 136 of the 875 pages; in the second, that the other five Symphonies and the "Missa Solemnis" fill out 123 of the 330 pages.
"I can feel de foot and de toes just as much as ebber, only de leg is a sort o' kind o' shorter. Now, Missa Gladding, you is a man ob gumption, can you splain dat?" "Sartin," said Tom, who didn't wish to appear ignorant to the presence of the negro; "there's no great difficulty about that, though I rather think it takes more larning than you've got to onderstand the thing.
